Running Freenas 9.2 configured with four 1 TB drives in a RAID 5 configuration with a spare. One of the drives experienced mechanical failure and had to be removed. System is back up, but in a degraded state.
First question: How do I "stabilize" the system with the remaining 3 drives.
Second question: I'm planning on replacing the 1 TB drives with 2 TB drives in same configuration. I have one drive that I want to add and move the data to, then add the other 3, setup the raid 5, transfer data to it, then add the first drive as the spare. Right now I want to start with adding 1st drive and transferring date. What is the best way to do it?
Thanks for any assistance in advance.
